Lamentations 4:22

כב תַּם-עֲו‍ֹנֵךְ, בַּת-צִיּוֹן--לֹא יוֹסִיף, לְהַגְלוֹתֵךְ; פָּקַד עֲו‍ֹנֵךְ בַּת-אֱדוֹם, גִּלָּה עַל-חַטֹּאתָיִך 22) Your iniquity, Fair Zion, is expiated; He will exile you no longer. Your iniquity, Fair Edom, He will note; He will uncover your sins. (JPS Tanakh, 2000)

לא כִּי לֹא יִזְנַח לְעוֹלָם, אֲדֹנָי לב כִּי אִם-הוֹגָה, וְרִחַם כְּרֹב חֲסָדָיו לג כִּי לֹא עִנָּה מִלִּבּוֹ, וַיַּגֶּה בְּנֵי-אִישׁ 31) For the LORD does not reject forever, 32) But first afflicts, then pardons in His abundant kindness 33) for He does not willfully bring grief or affliction to man (JPS Tanakh, 2000)

טז וַיַּגְרֵס בֶּחָצָץ שִׁנָּי, הִכְפִּישַׁנִי בָּאֵפֶר יז וַתִּזְנַח מִשָּׁלוֹם נַפְשִׁי, נָשִׁיתִי טוֹבָה יח וָאֹמַר אָבַד נִצְחִי, וְתוֹחַלְתִּי מֵיְהוָה יט זְכָר-עָנְיִי וּמְרוּדִי, לַעֲנָה וָרֹאשׁ כ זָכוֹר תִּזְכּוֹר, ותשיח (וְתָשׁוֹחַ) עָלַי נַפְשִׁי. כא זֹאת אָשִׁיב אֶל-לִבִּי, עַל-כֵּן אוֹחִיל כב חַסְדֵי יְהוָה כִּי לֹא-תָמְנוּ, כִּי לֹא-כָלוּ רַחֲמָיו כג חֲדָשִׁים, לַבְּקָרִים, רַבָּה, אֱמוּנָתֶךָ כד חֶלְקִי יְהוָה אָמְרָה נַפְשִׁי, עַל-כֵּן אוֹחִיל לוֹ.   16) He has broken my teeth on gravel, has ground me into the dust 17) My life was bereft of peace, I forgot what happiness was 18) I thought my strength and hope had perished before the LORD 19) To recall my distress and my misery was wormwood and poison 20) Whenever I thought of them I was bowed low. 21) But this do I call to mind, therefore I[...]
